DESCRIPTION

The Emdom Vehicle Hydration Carrier is a shorter and wider version of our H2O Hydration Carrier. It is designed to not cause the armor carrier it is mounted to be pushed up when seated in a vehicle. This shorter design also prevents interference with pouches mounted on the rear of a belt. The carrier will accommodate most standard or wide shaped reservoirs up to 70oz/2L (NOT included). The Vehicle Hydration carrier is mounted to the back of a MOLLE/PALS vest or armor carrier via the included set of MALICE clips. It can be utilized as a stand-alone pack by attaching our Emdom H2O Hydration Carrier Shoulder Strap System (sold separately). The Vehicle Hydration Carrier features a full length pocket for storage of long items such as antennae and tools. Longer items can be accessed from the upper most zippered opening and shorter items can be accessed from the lower zippered opening.

*All features below are described with the pouch being horizontal and facing away from you.

KEY FEATURES & DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

Mounting:
MOLLE/PALS compatible via three included long and short MALICE clips. Can be mounted to four or five columns of PALS webbing.

Stand-alone:
At the very top and bottom corners on the rear of the carrier are Tri-glide and Looploc attachment points for our Emdom H2O Hydration Carrier Should Strap System (sold separately). These four attachment points can also be used to mount the Vehicle Hydration Carrier to our Emdom/MM Battle Suspenders (sold separately) via additional hardware (NOT included).

Exterior front and sides:
Front features 6 rows x 5 columns of color/pattern matched PALS webbing. Each side features 4 rows x 2 columns of color/pattern matched PALS webbing. At the top is a 5.5” x 3” loop Velcro area integrated with the top two rows of PALS webbing. There are four 1” tab loops on the front for use as tie-downs or lash points. Integrated into the front of the carrier is a full length general purpose pocket with a zippered opening at the very top and another half way down. Zippered openings are covered, protecting them from damage and the elements.

Exterior back and bottom:
Back features full MOLLE/PALS webbing grid for mounting to a compatible platform via included set of long and short MALICE clips. Drainage grommet at the very bottom of the pouch allows drainage of water, sand, and other unwanted debris.

Main compartment opening:
Dual zippered opening is protected from damage and the elements by full length cover flap. Each zipper pull features two snaps which ensure a secure closure when snapped together. At the very top towards the back of the carrier is an elastic flap covered hydration tube port which will accommodate most mouth pieces and attachments.

Main compartment interior:
The front portion features a 4.5” x 5” zippered mesh pocket for reservoir connectors, spare bite valves, cleaning tablets, etc. Behind the mesh pocket is a 4” x 4” loop Velcro panel for storing ID/IFF patches and markers. The back portion of the interior features a mesh reservoir pocket with an elastic rim. Towards the bottom is a 3” wide elastic compression strap. At the top is a paracord loop for hanging a reservoir.

Reservoir compatibility:
The Vehicle Hydration Carrier is designed to accommodate a 70oz/2L reservoir (NOT included). However some 100oz/3L reservoirs can fit, albeit tightly.

I've had mine for over 3 years and it's been through some hard use during field and range training. Initially I used it as a hydration carrier on my deployment to Afghanistan, but I've since moved away from using it as a hydration carrier and use it more as a pack to store snacks and chow, magazines, ammo, comm gear, and clothing. The best thing about it is its compact size which will fit perfectly on a plate carrier, and the amount of stuff you can fit in it and on it! It's very versatile as far as what you can carry in it, but overall it's a great little carrier for all around use. The pals webbing allows for more versatility by allowing you to attach multiple pouches to it, making it very customizable to suit your needs. This is my go-to hydration carrier and I absolutely love it! The emdomusa Vehicle Hydration Carrier has been Marine Tested and Approved! Semper Fi!
